Biography
Aripucki was born in the Iroquois Territory in western Upstate New York to the Mohawk tribe, and fought in the American Revolutionary War as a young warrior. After the war ended he became a warchief of the Iroquois Confederacy and aided in the capture of Fort de Chartres from the French, and in summer 1800 he led a raiding party into Kentucky to raid the United States during the Northwest Indian War. He burnt down many plantations but was met by John Sullivan's American army, who had left Fort Raleigh to confront his war party. In the Battle of Lost Creek, his forces were nearly annihilated and Aripucki was forced to retreat northwards with what was left of his raiding force.
